Istanbul (Constantinople) is an intersection point of many approaches, ideologies, paths, religions – all space, time and class divisions and/or multiplications.
If to compare Maciunas made route for FLUXUS pilgrimage “to the Holly Land and Europe” in 70’s, the only intersection point with nowadays DAMTP peregrination route is exactly Istanbul.
The game played in Taksim square in September, 2013 is an exceptional because of being included into s. c. “historical developments” of 3SF in references from the side of DAMTP’s and from the side of “reactionaries” too.
Today Taksim square is divided by half and one side is filled with police cars and officials. Another part of the square – at least how DAMTP’s found it on August 17th, 12PC night – is out of people. But peregrines met 3 dogs, which kindly agreed to join in 3SF [Animist] World Cup. The dogs were accepted each to a different team, but eventually they formed temporary independent animist-nationalist faction and played their own football instead. One moment a light-brownish dog when running with ball stuck in his teeth suddenly stopped, put the ball down, straightened his head up and screamed: “this is a revolution! Animist revolution!” And there came off the ball another one pentagon patch depicting Welsh again.
